[omniORB] Why do oneway requests hang on disconnected network?

[Sean Parker]

I thought that's what you'd say! :-)

In my spare seconds, I can take a look... let me know where
I should look first - for example: when a client app is
making a request on a stub, how does omniORB differentiate
between a oneway request (not needing a return value of
course) and one requiring a holding pattern waiting for a
reply?

Cheers
